OAMPAIGN AGAINST GEEMANS. LONDON, March 17. A crowd, which sang the Internanonale, this afternoon broke up a demonstration in Trafalgar Square by a "Face the Facts" Association to arouse support for a campaign agamst Germans xn Britain. They intencled to urge: (1) Food for Britons hefore Germans; (2) no more Germans in Britain; (3) no naturalisation for Germans; and (4) no Germans in Government departments. The cries, "Where's Mosloy?" "Where's Haw Haw?" and "1'hree Oheers for the Labour Government" greeted the president (Mrs. Eleuora Tennant) when she ascended the plinih of the Nelson Column and tried to ad- 1 dress the crowd through loudspeakers. Other speakers struggled for half an hour to make themselves heard above the barrage of boos and slogans before a man and a woman jumped on the plinth and tried tD address the crowd. The police removed the interrapters and terminated the meeting, and advised the association to give up a planned march along Whitehall to the Home Office as "someone might he injured. ' ' Mrs. Tennant later declared that her organisation was not Fascist and that it .had no political connections whatever. The JPress Association says that Mrs. Tennant is the wife of Mr. E. W. Tennant, a former honorary secretary of the Anglo German fellowship.
